Grounding

 

Extension Cords

 

 

 

In the event of an electrical short, grounding pro- vides electric current a path of least resistance to reduce the risk of electrical shock. This tool is equipped with an electric cord having an equip- ment-grounding conductor which must be proper- ly connected to a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into a matching outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

Improper connections of the electrical-grounding conductor can result in the risk of electric shock. The conductor with green or green and yellow striped insulation is the electrical-grounding con- ductor. If repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equip- ment grounding conductor to a live terminal.

This equipment must be grounded. Verify that any existing electrical outlet and circuit you intend to plug into is actually grounded. Under no cir- cumstances should the grounding pin from any three-pronged plug be removed. Serious injury may occur.

We do not recommend the use of extension cords with 220V equipment. It is much better to arrange the placement of your equipment and the installed wiring to eliminate the need for extension cords. Should it be necessary to use an extension, make sure the cord is rated Hard Service (grade S) or better. Refer to the chart in Section 1: Safety Instructions to determine the minimum gauge for the extension cord when using either 110V or 220V. The extension cord must also contain a ground wire and plug pin. Always repair or replace extension cords when they become worn or dam- aged.

We have covered some basic electrical requirements for the safe operation of your machine. These requirements are not nec- essarily comprehensive. You must be sure that your particular electrical configuration complies with local and state codes. Ensure compliance by checking with your local municipality or a licensed electrician.
